The Argentine said: "I think I’ve settled into Bournemouth for a long time - its been a year and a half being here. I am enjoying football and playing, which is nice, and we are trying to get the results for the club and get the goals we want for this season."
On playing under Andoni Iraola he said: "I think it is a new idea of playing and a different way compared to last season. I think we understand more how he wants us to play. It’s also good because now we are getting the results.
"Before when we played well a couple of games, we deserved more results and more points, but in the end it took longer, but we are starting to get it now."
On his partnership with Illia Zabarnyi: "I think since Zabarnyi has arrived we’ve connected, we play together and as of today we have a good partnership and it is good that we can get results also."

Chris Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League matches again this season, against a variety of guests.
This week, he takes on CBeebies presenter Rhys Stephenson.
Sutton's prediction: 1-0
The way Bournemouth have picked up has surprised me a little bit, but they are carrying more of an attacking threat and it is paying off.
I am tempted to say the Cherries can keep their run going with a point at Selhurst Park, but I have a feeling Crystal Palace will end their poor run, and edge what should be a very tight game. I am just not 100% sure why.
Rhys' prediction: 1-1

Bournemouth were unbeaten in their first three Premier League away games against Crystal Palace (W1 D2), but have since lost their past three such visits to Selhurst Park by an aggregate score of 8-3.
Crystal Palace have lost their past two Premier League home games, as many as they had in their previous 14 at Selhurst Park (W4 D8). They most recently lost three in a row in February 2022.
Bournemouth have lost 12 of their past 16 Premier League games in London (W2 D2), with their victories in this run coming at Chelsea (1-0 in December 2019) and Tottenham (3-2 last season).
Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson has won four of his seven Premier League games against Bournemouth (D2 L1). Of sides he has faced more than five times, only against West Bromwich Albion (71.4%) and Aston Villa (58.8%) does he have a higher win rate than against the Cherries (57.1%).
Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze has scored five goals in his past seven home games in the Premier League, as many as he had in his first 38 at Selhurst Park.

Encouraging performances and results recently have steered Bournemouth clear of the relegation places, albeit they could feel a lot more comfortable.
The Cherries have been ahead in eight games so far this season but have only managed to secure victory on half of those occasions, conceding stoppage-time goals in three of those. Now despite a number of positives recently, the weekend once again saw Bournemouth lead twice only to be pegged back on 90 minutes, which meant an impressive display ended in just a solitary point for the hosts.
Injuries to key players is certainly a factor when you consider how much stronger the bench could be to try to see games out.
Many defensive-minded players are on the injury list currently for Bournemouth, with Lloyd Kelly joining Max Aarons, Tyler Adams and Ryan Fredericks for a spell on the sidelines. The aggressive, front foot and "all action" style deployed by coach Andoni Iraola may also have a part to play in the inability to see many games out.
Are the players "dead on their feet" and unable to keep up such graft for the entirety? Potentially.
Ultimately, I think it just proves how challenging it can be to keep out elite players in the most demanding league in football. Ollie Watkins barely had a sniff against the Cherries at the weekend, yet popped up to save a vital point for the visitors in the closing stages.

Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola has been speaking to BBC Radio Solent, looking ahead to Wednesday's Premier League game against Crystal Palace:
Here are the key headlines from his interview:
On how the squad is doing with the quick turnaround of games: "Everyone is trying to recover to be ready against Palace. It is probably going to be a tough week. We have two away games with the travels and everything, we have to be ready and I hope everyone's ready to play."
When asked about possible squad rotation, Iraola said: "I have a decision to make. I don't know the starting 11. I will see how they train and their energy levels and then make my decision. We have to consider that we are playing three games this week and two away games. I hope everyone is ready if they start or play in the second half. I think we'll need everyone."
On injuries to first-team players: "Defensively we are thinner right now, Max Aarons should be the first one ready to help us again, but he is still not training. We'll have to wait. I don't think he's ready for the games this week. We'll see."
On whether defence is an area to focus on in the January transfer window: "Yes probably, on the left side we have just Milos Kerkez and the help of Lloyd Kelly, but it's true because now we have two full-backs injured, you can feel it especially this week with the three games. I hope Adam Smith and Kerkez can keep the levels and stay without injuries, but it's something we have to consider in January."
Iraola feels everyone in the squad needs to be prepared to help out in different positions: "I think everyone needs to be ready now, we are thin on the defensive side, even if we need someone like Dango Ouattara to help out in those positions then they have to be ready."
The Spaniard went on to praise Palace boss Roy Hodgson: "I appreciate that someone can be competitive for so long and you have to be smart and a good coach to have been coaching for so long. It's a pleasure to face him tomorrow.
On what he is expecting from Palace: "A lot of teams try to cement their season in their home games. I think Palace is one of those teams and they also concede very few goals when playing at home."

We asked for your thoughts on Sunday's game between Bournemouth and Aston Villa.
Here are some of your comments:
Bournemouth fans
Ian: It says a lot for Bournemouth's improvement over the last few weeks that they will come away from this game disappointed that they didn't pick up the three points against one of the current top sides in the division. This is a young team and they can only get better.
Steve: We are starting to play Andoni Iraola's system as a cohesive unit, and going forward we look a real threat to anyone. It is high energy and the players are exhausted after 90 minutes. We need to defend better but the signs are promising, especially with the quality players who are yet to return from injury.
Addy: Bournemouth are trusting Iraola's long-term plan and this is starting to show. The players are finding their best positions and are brimming with confidence. Watching Bournemouth in the past few months has been very exciting and they are a team that is looking very tough to beat at the moment. I look forward to seeing how far this team can go in the coming seasons.
Villa fans
KD: Never going to be an easy game at Bournemouth, but Villa cannot afford to make mistakes at the back if they want to push on this season. I think Diego Carlos is the weak link and has errors in his game - he's got to do better in the forthcoming fixtures.
Colin: It just felt too laid back. Too many poor passes in midfield and we lost the ball time and time again. Bournemouth were good, they knew how to attack Villa's high line and found too much space in the penalty area. It was a shame Diego Carlos' goal was ruled offside because that might have changed the game. Villa need to iron out this away-form weakness.
Chris: While it is tempting to see that as two points dropped, not that long ago Villa would have never mustered a comeback like they did. Some good belief from the team there.
Adam: If you can’t win, don’t lose. Not the best performance but under Steven Gerrard we would have lost that game every time. Two huge home games up next will be a real marker for where we are.

He said: "When you get a cohesion within the team, the two centre midfielders Cook and Christie, then Tavernier, Kluivert and Semenyo all playing and getting a good run of games, you can see everything is going up.
"The total shots, expected goals, possession within the games, so they’re getting much more control within the game which is giving them better performances and it’s why I think they’re on this really good run.
"Semenyo was electric in this game, we mentioned the balance they have on both sides, Tavernier has been playing really well for them too. But Semenyo was the main threat, left-back Kerkez always offered support too.
"What stood out for me was the finish on his goal, touch left, bang, right in the corner, everything he does is really sharp.
"We so often see wingers trying to cut inside but he’s someone who wants to get to the line. It’s a real asset to have somebody with that ability to take you to the line, cut inside and shoot. You can see Bournemouth are really growing from this consistency."

The Cherries should have banked their third successive Premier League victory but were instead left to rue two points dropped rather than one gained against Villa.
It has taken Bournemouth's players a while to adjust to Andoni Iraola's style but things are definitely heading in the right direction under the Spaniard.
A number of the club's players have started to really shine under his management - and two in particular stood out on Sunday.
On the wing, Antoine Semenyo was a constant menace against Villa with his skilful dribbles and intelligent movement off the ball.
Dominic Solanke, meanwhile, has continued his impressive goalscoring start to the campaign - and would have had a couple more in this one but for the presence of Emiliano Martinez in the Villa goal.
The Cherries head to Crystal Palace on Wednesday with an opportunity to continue their Premier League ascent.
Bournemouth goalscorer Dominic Solanke speaking after the game: "It feels like a loss conceding so late on, but they are a top side playing their best football in years.
"We want to make this stadium a tough place to come and we are building towards that. We are on a good run of form and have two more games this week. We have a good feeling behind us.
"Their goalkeeper has pulled off some fine saves and I could've had more. We are confident right now and feel we can win any game."
Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola speaking after the game: "We are very happy with the performance of the team. We had the better of the game and had many chances, but we finish with one point. We cannot be happy with the point.
"We created a lot, four or five very clear chances, and their goalkeeper had an amazing performance. Maybe our game management needs work. You can see why [Aston] Villa are so high in the table and they scored a good goal.
"We should have made it 3-1 and the game would be over. We are playing well and winning duels, but we need to continue. The level is so high, you have to be very good just to get even one point.
"We play seven times in December so we will need every player."
Both of Bournemouth’s Premier League goals scored inside the opening 10 minutes this season have been scored by Antoine Semenyo. All three of Semenyo’s goals for the Cherries in the league this season have been scored inside the opening 25 minutes.
Ollie Watkins is only the fourth Aston Villa player to provide 6+ goals and 6+ assists in consecutive Premier League seasons for the club, with today being the sixth time he has both scored and assisted in the same Premier League game.
Bournemouth are now unbeaten in their last three Premier League matches (W2 D1), their longest unbeaten run in the competition since October 2022 (a run of 6 games).
Bournemouth’s Dominic Solanke has now scored seven league goals this season, his best return in a single Premier League season.
Aston Villa have now conceded in eight consecutive Premier League matches, their longest run since a run of 11 games between May and September 2022.
Ollie Watkins headed in a 90th-minute equaliser as Aston Villa twice came from behind to draw with Bournemouth in a thrilling Premier League game.
Antoine Semenyo gave the Cherries an early lead with a smart low finish after a mistake by Diego Carlos.
Leon Bailey got Villa back on level terms after he cut in from the right and shot through a crowded area.
Dominic Solanke put Bournemouth ahead again, but Watkins popped up to ensure the points were shared.

Chris Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League matches again this season, against a variety of guests.
This week, he takes on All Elite Wrestling (AEW) star Claudio Castagnoli.
Sutton's prediction: 1-1
Aston Villa have been on fire but Bournemouth have hit a good patch too, with three wins in their past four games. That makes this one really difficult to call.
Cherries fans always get ratty if I predict a loss for them so I am going to give them a point here.
Villa's win at Spurs last week was a great result but that was such an open game. Bournemouth will be a lot more stubborn, and it will be harder for Unai Emery's side to break them down.
Claudio's prediction: 1-3
Image source, Getty ImagesAll Premier League and Championship clubs will enter the hat for the FA Cup third-round draw on Sunday, 3 December.
The draw will take place from around 12.55pm GMT, prior to kick-off between Eastleigh and Reading.
The third-round matches are set to be played on the weekend of 6 and 7 January.
Image source, Getty ImagesAdam Smith has told BBC Radio Solent he hopes to help the Cherries "kick on" after triggering a one-year contract extension.
Smith is approaching a decade at the club after first joining from Tottenham in 2014 and the 32-year-old's new deal runs to 2025.
He said: "It’s gone so quickly, it doesn’t feel like 10 years. When I first joined I didn’t think I’d be here 10 years [later] that’s for sure.
"When you’re in your thirties people write you off, but I don’t think it’s right. What anyone says doesn’t bother me to be honest."
On this season under Andoni Iraola, he said: "It’s taken us some time to adapt to the gaffer’s way of playing. It was a real tough start with fixtures which didn’t really help.
"But recently we have definitely picked up and you can see the confidence in the team and the individuals. You have to maintain it and that’s what we are looking to do at the weekend and hopefully kick on and start looking towards the higher end of the table. To be in a relegation scrap is extra stress."
